Uh...

No, because the term of nerd generally means "applies self to academia, has very little (if any friends), has difficulty in social situations, etc."
I have friends and get along well with almost anyone I meet. I don't understand the fixation on nerds in popular culture that's sprung up in the last, what, 12 months? I even started to see it on Facebook back when I had Facebook (deleted it in January because I didn't want or need it). People want to look like a nerd because they think it's cool, without actually being one, because that's actually lame. It's sort of like trying to have your cake and eat it too; you want to associate with demograph A to look cooler in the eyes of demograph B, but then you want to be like demograph B because actually being like demograph A is pathetic and socially introvert.

I suppose Maddox summed it up better than I ever could, though.

I consider myself a nerd but the cool people who know me say they hang out with me "cuz i'm the cool type of nerd" whatever that is.

So I guess i'm a cool nerd!

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

I don't think of myself in such ways. I simply am what I am, leave the pointless labeling to the other people who care about such trivial matters.

A bit of both. I like gaming, but have always been the second best athlete in my class.
